heard and three women ran down the
steps and into the street as fast as they
could 60, attracting the attention of
passers-by and creating quite sensa-

"There's wild Indian, or burg

much excitement. A man ran TO the

Traded on a Poor Woman's Ignorance.

An old incident about woman who
got hurt at the crossing at Sixteenth
street and Michigan avenue some
years ago. She was a poor washer
woman, carrying home a bundle ear
ly in the morning, and as she was
crossing the track a switch engine
struck her. The engineer saw her
when it was too late, and, thinking he
had killed the woman, tainted. But
the washerwoman escaped with only
a few cuts and bruises. She didn't
know anything about the liability Of
railroads in such cases, but her friends
told her she ought to make the rail-
road company pay her something.
Accordinglysshe rigged herself out
and called upon the superintendent of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
road.
"Well, my good woman" said he,
"what can l do for your"
The woman told the story, and said
it was her opinion that she was enti-
tied to damages.
The superintendent was very cour-
teous to her, and after she had done
he said: What do you think would
be a reasonable sum to repay your"
"Well," said the woman, there is
nothing small about me; think |
would like about two dollars and a
half"
The superintendent sent the woman
home the happy possessor of crisp
$40 note.-Chicogo Tribune.

A Boomerang of a Joke.

That is pretty good story which
Col Sheriff., Of George N. Lee d Co.
and n well known man OH State street,
tells on himself, One evening last
week the colonel was taking his GUS
tomary bath and shave at home.
While he was thus engaged Mrs. Sher-
rill called through the keyhole that
she was going to run out for min
ute's call on one of the neighbors.
Meantime Colonel Sheriff. thought he
would trim his mustache. Selling the
shears, he clipped off a little on one
side and then little on the other.
But the trim was uneven, and in en-
deavoripg to restore harmony of
length and form TO the respective sides
of his beard the colonel shipped and
clipped away until there was very lit
tie of the mustache left. Perceiving
that his bungling work had made a
sad ruin, he brought the razor into
play again and completed the Job by
shaving his lip clean of hirsutal ap-
pendage. Just then he thought of
his wife, and wondered what she would
say. That mustache had been Mrs.
Sherrilps pride and joy, and she had
strenuously resisted all previous sug-
gestions looking to its removal. "She
will be awfully surprised" said the
colonel, "and just for fun I guess I'll
make joke of it and see if l can't
frighten as well as surprise her." So
the colonel procured some red ink and
black ink, and with these striped
and streakcd his face in the fearful
manner best known to wild Indians,
about to go on the warpath. The COL
oncl looked at himself in the mirror,
and chuckled softly in anticipation of
the coming fun. just then the door
bell rang, and the joker, saying to
himself that his wife must have for
gotten her latch key started down
stairs to let her in, though clad only
in the robe he had donned on coming
out Of the bath. Pausing in the hall
to turn the gas on full, that his horid
features might the bet ter be shown to
his wife, the colonel. almost ready to
burst into laughter, slipped the latch
and threw the door wide open, at the
same time springing back into the full
glare of the gas light and assuming a
a threatening, wild Indian attitude.
But instead Of Mrs. Sheriff., there

How Bruin Rugged Busy Saw.

"Talking about funny things" said
a big bronzed, bearded man in the
reading-room of an uptown hotel last
night, "the funniest thing ever heard
of happened in my saw mill out in
Michigan. We used a heavy upright
saw for saving heavy timber. One
day not long ago the men had all
gone to dinner, leaving the saw, which
ran by water power, going at full
speed. While we were away, a big
black bear came into the mill and
went nosing around. The saw caught
his fur and twitched him little.
Bruin didn't like this for cent, so he
turned around and fetched the saw a
lick with his paw. Result II badly
cut paw. A blow with the other paw
followed, and it was also cut. The
bear was by this time aroused to per-
feet fury, and rushing at the saw,
caught it in his grasp and and gave
it a tremendous hug. 1t was his last
hug, and we lived on bear steaks for
a week. When we came up from din
ner there was half bear on each
side of the saw, which was going
ahead as nicely as though it had never
seen bear. This is fact, so help
me Bob" and the big lumberman bit
off a fresh chew of tobacco.-New
York Tribune.

They were celebrating their silver
wedding and the friends we're admir-

when they are getting lot of pres

happy and very affectionate.
"Yes," said the husband, this is
the only woman | ever loved. Ishall

to her."
"How did you do it Z" burst out a
young man who had been squeezing a
pretty girls hand in the corr er.
They all laughed and he blusbed
but the girl carried it off bravely.
"Well, l remember as well as if it
were yesterday. 1t was away back in

The wife nodded and smiled.

The wife nodded again.
"She began writing in the dust with
the point of her parasol. You recall
it, sweet, don't you 7"
The wife nodded again.
"She wrote her name, Minnie and

And l took the parasol and wrote my

"How lovelyp broke out little
maid who was beaming in suspicious
way on a tall chap with blonde
mustache.
"And she took back the parasol
and wrote below it, No, won't.
And we went home. You remember

Then he kissed her and the compa-
ny murmured sentimentally, wasn't it
